July 2nd Weekly Roundup Feature
We’ve restructured how we’re doing our roundup feature- so you’ll see less this time around! Here’s why: TFV was founded to report on festivals and to create new and unique articles about our festival experience. While we love sharing the latest music, it’s not our focus. And at this time, the roundup has grown so much that we’ve lost focus on what is at our core ethos- festivals! So this one will be short and sweet for you so we can get back to the best festival news! July 2nd
Arnold & Lane – Buck EP
LA-based duo Arnold & Lane release their new Buck EP, out now via Dirtybird Records.

The titular track ‘Buck’ is an exuberant blend of funky basslines, crunchy percussion, and Lane’s commanding vocals. Arnold & Lane’s party-starting spirit flows through the companion track, ‘Werkem’, a hypnotic mix of percolating synths and snappy snares. The EP also arrives with a dub mix that sees the duo continue to explore the depths of their wavy melodies with a near 6-minute cut of ‘Buck’.

Over the past seven years, she’s played hundreds of shows and taken the stage at some of the world’s biggest music festivals such as Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Lightning In A Bottle, where she’s mesmerized audiences with her hybrid DJ/drum pad live performance style.
